A majority of Americans have favored Donald Trump's southern border over Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's Green New Deal, according to a poll released on Wednesday.

The poll reveals that Fifty-one percent of Americans say they would rather have border wall on America’s southern border, compared to a marginally smaller 31 percent who say that they want a Green New Deal, the Remington Research Group revealed.

Republicans have expressed their preference to border wall by a 68-point margin, while Independents said they would favor a border wall by a two-to-one margin.

According to a report from the Guardian, Mitch McConnell, who plans to hold a vote on the Green New Deal resolution recently introduced by congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) called the plan "irresponsible."

Despite polls suggesting broad bipartisan support for a Green New Deal, McConnell thinks his ploy will divide Democrats and boost the GOP talking point that the plan is "fiscally irresponsible."
